Security Fix(es) :

  - It was found that the fix for CVE-2014-9750 was     incomplete: three issues were found in the value length     checks in NTP's ntp_crypto.c, where a packet with     particular autokey operations that contained malicious     data was not always being completely validated. A remote     attacker could use a specially crafted NTP packet to     crash ntpd. (CVE-2015-7691, CVE-2015-7692,     CVE-2015-7702)

  - A memory leak flaw was found in ntpd's CRYPTO_ASSOC. If     ntpd was configured to use autokey authentication, an     attacker could send packets to ntpd that would, after     several days of ongoing attack, cause it to run out of     memory. (CVE-2015-7701)

  - An off-by-one flaw, leading to a buffer overflow, was     found in cookedprint functionality of ntpq. A specially     crafted NTP packet could potentially cause ntpq to     crash. (CVE-2015-7852)

  - A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the way     ntpd processed 'ntpdc reslist' commands that queried     restriction lists with a large amount of entries. A     remote attacker could potentially use this flaw to crash     ntpd. (CVE-2015-7977)

  - A stack-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the way     ntpd processed 'ntpdc reslist' commands that queried     restriction lists with a large amount of entries. A     remote attacker could use this flaw to crash ntpd.
    (CVE-2015-7978)

  - It was found that when NTP was configured in broadcast     mode, a remote attacker could broadcast packets with bad     authentication to all clients. The clients, upon     receiving the malformed packets, would break the     association with the broadcast server, causing them to     become out of sync over a longer period of time.
    (CVE-2015-7979)

  - It was found that ntpd could crash due to an     uninitialized variable when processing malformed     logconfig configuration commands. (CVE-2015-5194)

  - It was found that ntpd would exit with a segmentation     fault when a statistics type that was not enabled during     compilation (e.g. timingstats) was referenced by the     statistics or filegen configuration command.
    (CVE-2015-5195)

  - It was found that NTP's :config command could be used to     set the pidfile and driftfile paths without any     restrictions. A remote attacker could use this flaw to     overwrite a file on the file system with a file     containing the pid of the ntpd process (immediately) or     the current estimated drift of the system clock (in     hourly intervals). (CVE-2015-5196, CVE-2015-7703)

  - It was discovered that the sntp utility could become     unresponsive due to being caught in an infinite loop     when processing a crafted NTP packet. (CVE-2015-5219)

  - A flaw was found in the way NTP verified trusted keys     during symmetric key authentication. An authenticated     client (A) could use this flaw to modify a packet sent     between a server (B) and a client (C) using a key that     is different from the one known to the client (A).
    (CVE-2015-7974)

  - A flaw was found in the way the ntpq client processed     certain incoming packets in a loop in the getresponse()     function. A remote attacker could potentially use this     flaw to crash an ntpq client instance. (CVE-2015-8158)

The CVE-2015-5219 and CVE-2015-7703 issues were discovered by Miroslav Lichvr (Red Hat).

Additional Changes :

It was discovered that ntpd as a client did not correctly check the originate timestamp in received packets. A remote attacker could use this flaw to send a crafted packet to an ntpd client that would effectively disable synchronization with the server, or push arbitrary offset/delay measurements to modify the time on the client.
(CVE-2015-8138)

A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the way ntpd processed 'ntpdc reslist' commands that queried restriction lists with a large amount of entries. A remote attacker could use this flaw to crash the ntpd process. (CVE-2015-7977)

It was found that NTP does not verify peer associations of symmetric keys when authenticating packets, which might allow remote attackers to conduct impersonation attacks via an arbitrary trusted key.
(CVE-2015-7974)

A stack-based buffer overflow was found in the way ntpd processed 'ntpdc reslist' commands that queried restriction lists with a large amount of entries. A remote attacker could use this flaw to crash the ntpd process. (CVE-2015-7978)

It was found that when NTP is configured in broadcast mode, an off-path attacker could broadcast packets with bad authentication (wrong key, mismatched key, incorrect MAC, etc) to all clients. The clients, upon receiving the malformed packets, would break the association with the broadcast server. This could cause the time on affected clients to become out of sync over a longer period of time.
(CVE-2015-7979)

A flaw was found in the way the ntpq client certain processed incoming packets in a loop in the getresponse() function. A remote attacker could potentially use this flaw to crash an ntpq client instance.
(CVE-2015-8158)

A flaw was found in ntpd that allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (ephemeral-association demobilization) by sending a spoofed crypto-NAK packet with incorrect authentication data at a certain time. (CVE-2016-4953)

(Updated 2016-10-18: CVE-2016-4953 was fixed in this release but was not previously part of this errata.)

The version of NTP installed on the remote AIX host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - A flaw exists in the receive() function due to the use     of authenticated broadcast mode. A man-in-the-middle     attacker can exploit this to conduct a replay attack.
    (CVE-2015-7973)

  - A NULL pointer dereference flaw exists in ntp_request.c     that is triggered when handling ntpdc relist commands.
    A remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially     crafted request, to crash the service, resulting in a     denial of service condition. (CVE-2015-7977)

  - An unspecified flaw exists in authenticated broadcast     mode. A remote attacker can exploit this, via specially     crafted packets, to cause a denial of service condition.
    (CVE-2015-7979)

  - A flaw exists in ntpq and ntpdc that allows a remote     attacker to disclose sensitive information in     timestamps. (CVE-2015-8139)

  - A flaw exists in the ntpq protocol that is triggered     during the handling of an improper sequence of numbers.
    A man-in-the-middle attacker can exploit this to conduct     a replay attack. (CVE-2015-8140)

  - A flaw exists in the ntpq client that is triggered when     handling packets that cause a loop in the getresponse()     function. A remote attacker can exploit this to cause an     infinite loop, resulting in a denial of service     condition. (CVE-2015-8158)

According to its self-reported version number, the remote pfSense install is prior to 2.3. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities.
